Command: state pull

The terraform state pull command is used to manually download and output the state from remote state. This command also works with local state.

Usage

Usage: terraform state pull

This command will download the state from its current location, upgrade the local copy to the latest state file version, and output the raw format to stdout.

This is useful for reading values out of state (potentially pairing this command with something like jq). It is also useful if you need to make manual modifications to state.

~> Note: This command cannot be used to inspect the Terraform version of the remote state, as it will always be converted to the current Terraform version before output.
